Being "checked out" doesn't mean you don't check back in later on. Brady may have been frustrated about the run-first offense, but part of that is on him since he wasn't playing anywhere near his 2017 season. If McD doesn't transform the offense around Michel and the running game, SB 53 doesn't happen.
BBs comments were misconstrued entirely.There was an article on Pats Pulpit that made a case the Pats were transforming the team for life after Brady.
It's mostly theory and light on examples, but they drafted a running back and receiver in the first round for the first time ever under Belichick.
Maybe you experts can find some other examples, like offensive linemen that are better at run blocking vs pass protection?

It also points out they started out pre-season with a bunch of receivers, but things fell off pretty badly. Josh Gordon became Josh Gordon, went all in on Antonio Brown (big mistake), burned a second on Sanu, and mistakenly traded away Demaryius Tomas as part of the AB debacle.
I think the Sanu trade was mostly a desperate attempt to keep Brady happy after he lost his new binky to mental illness.
I also am of the opinion there is some negative influence from McDaniels. I pray he never becomes HC/GM. He likes his shiny objects too much. I put the Antonio Brown ****-show on him. That seemed like a very un-BB move. Also possibly the last 2 first round draft picks. This all seemed to be one last ditch attempt to wring one more SB run out of the Brady era.
This is where I believe we see the comments from BB about no longer having to build a team around Brady. I read it as no longer having to find veteran receivers that will mesh with the star quarterback, being able to go run heavy on offense, pouring your assets into the defense, and also developing young receivers.
Don't get me wrong and hold the dislikes (how dare I criticize Saint Tom!!!) when you have the GOAT quarterback, you absolutely build the team around him.
Like it or not, this is 100% BB's team now.

Ok, is anyone else tired of reading headlines about a guy who no longer is a player of the N. E. Patriots? He left so it's time to move on.....there will be a time in the future when Patriots fans can celebrate his achievements as the QB who won 6 Titles. I'm sure Mr. Kraft will have something memorable planned but as of now who gives a sh*t about what happened then.....Tom's a Buc and Stid is the "potential" QB of the future for the team, enough already.
You weren’t playing.
I’m skeptical and I’m no Brady humper. I suspect he was pissed after the Steelers game and then reconnected. After that Steelers loss, they won five in a row culminating in the SB.
I mean, yeah Brady probably didn't "check out". My post wasn't that serious.
This is a guy who used a first round pick on Tim Freaking Tebow. I think that is all you need to know about him.
Bedard used to be a good football analyst. I don't know what happened to him. Perhaps too much Felger and Mazz. It's a shame because I always enjoyed his football break downs and now he is just a hot take guy. Awful.
His football break downs have been off the mark too. I remember when he said Bill would cost the Pats the SB when they traded Collins and that the Pats would regret paying Gilmore that huge contract.I dislike his Brady takes. He criticizes Brady for this psycho/off-field ******** but ballwashes and excuses his less than stellar performance on the field.
